Voting hillary vs trump

Trump-aligned Republican activists in New Hampshire are quietly maneuvering to fortify his standing and avoid a potentially disruptive primary challenge in 2020. In the most far-reaching move, Donald Trump’s allies are looking to scrap the state GOP’s tradition of remaining neutral in the primary — to clear the way for an endorsement of the president. They’re also moving to install one of their own as head of the state Republican Party.Story Continued Below The efforts wouldn’t stop a moderate Republican like John Kasich from taking on Trump. But they are designed to shield the president from the kind of damage that a serious primary fight could do to him heading into the general election. An endorsement would provide much more than just a verbal statement of support: It would enable the New Hampshire Republican Party to throw the weight of its entire apparatus behind Trump against any GOP rival. A top strategist to Kasich said the attempt to stack the … [Read more...] about Kasich’s camp slams GOP effort to head off primary vs. Trump

BOULDER — Twenty-four hours before polls close in Colorado, the Democratic and Republican candidates for governor spent the evening lobbing bombs at each other from the bunkers of their respective ideological and geographic bases. Here in this college town, the state’s progressive epicenter and home to a local tax on sugary drinks and a ban on assault-style weapons, Democratic Congressman Jared Polis, who lives here, tagged his Republican opponent as a mini-me of the most controversial president in at least a generation. “None of us want to wake up a day after the election and say but for one vote per precinct … we have a Donald Trump yes man as governor in our state,” he told a crowd of about 100 at the Rayback Collective bar on the outskirts of downtown. “So let’s all get to work in this final day to make sure that we leave no votes on the table.” About 100 miles south-east, at an office park in El Paso County — a county with … [Read more...] about ‘Bernie Polis’ vs. Trump’s ‘yes man’: In closing arguments on the eve of the election, candidates for Colorado governor preach to their base

White House But on Friday, at least, the current president barely mustered a response to the blistering critique leveled against him by his predecessor. URBANA, Ill. — Barack Obama went hard. Donald Trump hardly responded. Friday was the day Republicans and Democrats and pretty much every reporter and political obsessive have been dreaming of — the two presidents who couldn’t be more different, who are both the throbbing hearts of their own bases and the nightmare of the others’ — going head to head. Story Continued Below Two months before the midterms that are existential for both of their visions of the future, Obama unleashed for the first time with an indictment of Trump and Republicans that stopped just short of calling them traitors to the American ideal. Trump, who’s been swiping at Obama on Twitter and other appearances almost every chance he gets and months ago said Democrats who didn’t clap for his state of the union address had … [Read more...] about Obama vs. Trump: The clash everyone’s waited for arrives

Todd Spangler Detroit Free Press Published 1:44 p.m. UTC Aug 1, 2018 WASHINGTON — A new national poll released Wednesday morning showed former Vice President Joe Biden had a 7-percentage-point lead over President Donald Trump in a potential 2020 match up. The Morning Consult/POLITICO online poll of 1,993 registered voters was done between last Thursday and this Monday and after Trump said in a TV interview in July it would be a "dream" to run against Biden in two years. The poll, which has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points, showed Biden receiving 44 percent of the support, Trump receiving 37 percent and 19 percent of respondents saying they were undecided at this early date (and without even knowing if Biden plans to run, as he hasn't said). Related: There are a couple of things this poll does and doesn't tell us. First, it continues a trend indicating Democrats have an edge on Trump: The poll showed a generic Democratic candidate scored slightly … [Read more...] about Biden vs. Trump?
